Suggestions for a good commuting flat? I slip into heels once I’m at the office, but I need something comfortable (and easily packable) for distances .5m+. I don’t like wearing flats to work, so I’ve been reluctant to buy any, which means I end up wearing sneakers.

I used to love wearing flats, that was years ago though, I have been seeing a ton of styles and brands pop up though and I am also looking into something that would be good for walking in. Really want to try the Tieks ballet flats, but I'm really not sure if it is worth the price tag. Would happily pay it if it was though, just not really sure.

I have two pairs of teaks and didn’t love them as much as I expected. The toe became scuffed easily but also how my foot is structured they easily slipped down the back (I’m a supinate, I put pressure on the inside of my feet).

I currently have my EAD based on my OPT with an addition 2 year renewal. I have also submitted a marriage based GC application in Nov 2021, did my biometrics currently waiting on my interview. I have an offer from a tech company and want to leave my current employer. I am worried if I tell my upcoming employer about being currently on OPT they will freak out and take back their offer even doh I can work and don’t need their sponsorship.

Do I have to tell ? Has anyone experience this before?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.
